Sears and now OSH (recently purchased by Sears) have finally lost my business for good. I'm really sick of retail shops that treat all customers like thieves, locking up half the tools so you have to fetch some drone to unlock them for you. They also never seem to have the tool I need anymore, nor do FLAPs or hardware stores. (Hint: I need a 12mm allen wrench now).
I'm not friendly with any local shops, and frankly can't afford Snap-On's prices, so what's a good on-line tool supplier? |

Is there a Post Tool local to you? Several people I know used to recommend the one down in San Jose/Santa Clara, but then that was a while ago...
